Faster Ball
Although a slower ball is usually the result when a bowler tries a change of pace, some bowlers have a delivery which is even faster. Pakistani great Imran Khan was one example, in his coaching book, he mentioned that it was far more effective to have a faster ball than a slower one.
Spinners and slow bowlers generally employ the faster ball more often than pacemen. Pakistan's Shahid Afridi has used this ball quite successfully over his career.
